ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — Atlanta Hawks guard Dennis Schröder is a native of Germany, where despite the best efforts of NBA players like Dirk Nowitzki and Schröder, soccer remains king. After all, Germany won the 2014 World Cup. So leave it to Schröder to figure out a way to combine soccer and hoops in this Instagram video, where he shouts out German National Team member Jerome Boateng…

@pasamba how so? He was born and raised in Braunschweig, Gambian mother and German father. Even if both were Gambian, he was still born and raised in Germany, with German as native language, German school, German friends. I would agree that he is partly of Gambian descent and is likely to feel part Gambian, but where do you get native from?
